PRODUCT"). An amendment or addendum to this EULA may accompany the
SOFTWARE PRODUCT. BY INSTALLING, COPYING, OR OTHERWISE USING THE
SOFTWARE PRODUCT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS EULA.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS EULA, DO NOT INSTALL OR
USE THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT; YOU MAY, HOWEVER, RETURN IT TO YOUR PLACE
OF PURCHASE FOR A FULL REFUND.
The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is protected by copyright laws and
international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual
property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is licensed, not
sold.
GRANT OF LICENSE. This EULA grants you the following
rights provided that you comply with all terms and conditions of
this EULA:
Types of Software. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT contains some or
all of the following types of software: "Server Software" that
provides services or functionality on a computer acting as a server
(and, the computer running the Server Software shall be referred to
as the "Server"); and "Client Software" that allows a computer,
workstation, terminal, handheld PC, pager, telephone, "smart
phone," or other electronic device (each of the foregoing a
"Device") to access or utilize the services or functionality
provided by the Server Software. Several copies of the Server
Software and the Connector Software (applicable to Microsoft
Exchange Server only), each of which is compatible with a different
microprocessor architecture (such as the x86 architecture or
various RISC architectures), may be provided.
Installation — Server Software. At any given
time, you may install one copy of the Server Software for only one
of those architectures on a single computer. Client
Software. You may install the Client Software on any
Device.
Use of the Server Software. You may use one copy of the
Server Software on one Server. You must acquire a separate Client
Access License for each unique Device which accesses or otherwise
utilizes the services or functionality of the Server Software,
whether you use the Client Software or any other software to do so,
unless otherwise noted in Section 2 below. This is known as using
the Server Software in "Per Seat Mode." However, you may elect to
use the Server Software for Microsoft SQL Server, Windows NT Server
(except as specified below), Site Server, Site Server Commerce
Edition or SNA Server (but not Microsoft Exchange Server, Windows
NT Server, Terminal Server Edition, Systems Management Server, or
BackOffice Server) in "Per Server Mode" as defined below. If you
choose Per Seat Mode, your choice is permanent. You also need a
Windows NT Workstation license to access or utilize certain
services or functionality of Windows NT Server as described
below.
Alternate Terms If You Elect to Use the Server Software in
Per Server Mode. In Per Server Mode, the maximum number
of Devices that may access or otherwise utilize the services or
functionality of the Server Software at a given point in time is
equal to the number of Client Access Licenses that you have
acquired and designated for use exclusively with that Server.
Devices to which a Client Access License has been designated may
also access Server Software running in the Per Server Mode,
provided the additional access is within that Server’s maximum
licensed capacity. You also have the right to change your use of
the Server Software to Per Seat Mode, but then this choice is
permanent. Consult the terms of your Client Access Licenses to
determine your rights with respect to such Client Access Licenses
in connection with such change.
Use of the Client Software. You may use the Client
Software provided that you acquire Client Access Licenses as
required in Paragraphs 1(c) and 1(d) above, and subject to any
limitations set forth in Paragraph 2.
Not for Resale Software. If the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is
labeled "Not for Resale" or "NFR," then, notwithstanding Section 1
of this EULA, your use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is limited to use
for demonstration, test, or evaluation purposes and you may not
resell, or otherwise transfer for value, the SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
Academic Edition Software. If the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is
identified as "Academic Edition" or "AE," you must be a "Qualified
Educational User" to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. If you are not a
Qualified Educational User, you have no rights under this EULA. To
determine whether you are a Qualified Educational User, please
contact the Microsoft Sales Information Center/One Microsoft

above as "Licensed Copies".
Installation on a Single Server. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT is
licensed as a single product. The Server Software components may
not be separated for use on more than one Server, unless otherwise
provided herein. By way of example, and not limitation, the
foregoing restriction applies to the Microsoft BackOffice Server
product suite.
No "Multiplexing" or "Pooling". Use of software or
hardware that reduces the number of Devices directly accessing or
utilizing the Server Software (sometimes called "multiplexing" or
"pooling" software or hardware) does not reduce the number of
Client Access Licenses required; the required number of Client
Access Licenses would equal the number of distinct inputs to the
multiplexing or pooling software or hardware "front end."
Additional Software. Any software provided to you by
Microsoft which updates or supplements the original SOFTWARE
PRODUCT is part of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and is governed by this
EULA, unless other terms of use are provided with such updates or
supplements. Any software provided to you along with the SOFTWARE

for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of receipt.
If an implied warranty or condition is created by your
state/jurisdiction and federal or state/provincial law prohibits
disclaimer of it, you also have an implied warranty or
condition, BUT ONLY AS TO DEFECTS DISCOVERED DURING THE PERIOD
OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY (NINETY (90) DAYS). AS TO ANY DEFECTS
DISCOVERED AFTER THE NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. Some states/jurisdictions do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition
lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
Any supplements or updates to the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, including
without limitation, any (if any) service pack or hot fixes provided
to you after the expiration of the ninety (90) day Limited Warranty
period are not covered by any warranty or condition, express or
implied.
LIMITATION ON REMEDIES; NO CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER
DAMAGES. Your exclusive remedy for any breach of this Limited
Warranty is as set forth below. Except for any refund elected by
Microsoft, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, if the SOFTWARE PRODUCT does not
meet Microsoft’s Limited Warranty, and, to the maximum extent
allowed by applicable law, even if any remedy fails of its
essential purpose. The terms of Paragraph 10 below ("Exclusion
of Incidental, Consequential and Certain Other Damages") are also
incorporated into this Limited Warranty. Some states/jurisdictions
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you. This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal
rights. You may have others which vary from state/jurisdiction to
state/jurisdiction. YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. Microsoft’s and
its suppliers’ entire liability and your exclusive remedy shall be,
at Microsoft’s option from time to time, (a) return of the
price paid (if any) for, or (b) repair or replacement of, the
SOFTWARE PRODUCT that does not meet this Limited Warranty and that
is returned to Microsoft with a copy of your receipt. You will
receive the remedy elected by Microsoft without charge, except that
you are responsible for any expenses you may incur (e.g. cost of
shipping the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to Microsoft). This Limited Warranty
is void if failure of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT has resulted from
accident, abuse, misapplication, abnormal use or a virus. Any
replacement SOFTWARE PRODUCT will be warranted for the remainder of
the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is
longer. Outside the United States or Canada, neither these remedies
nor any product support services offered by Microsoft are available
without proof of purchase from an authorized international source.
To exercise your remedy, contact: Microsoft, Attn. Microsoft Sales
Information Center at the address specified in Paragraph 16
below.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. The Limited Warranty that
appears above is the only express warranty made to you and is
provided in lieu of any other express warranties (if any) created
by any documentation or packaging. Except for the Limited
Warranty and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
Microsoft and its suppliers provide the SOFTWARE PRODUCT and
Support Services (if any) AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and
hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, either
express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any

or lack of workmanlike effort, all with regard to the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT, and the provision of or failure to provide Support
Services. ALSO, THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF TITLE, QUIET
ENJOYMENT, QUIET POSSESSION, CORRESPONDENCE TO DESCRIPTION OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE PRODUCT.
EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER
DAMAGES. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no
event shall Microsoft or its suppliers be liable for any special,
incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits or
confidential or other information, for business interruption, for
personal injury, for loss of privacy, for failure to meet any duty
including of good faith or of reasonable care, for negligence, and
for any other pecuniary or other loss whatsoever) arising out of or
in any way related to the use of or inability to use the SOFTWARE
PRODUCT, the provision of or failure to provide Support Services,
or otherwise under or in connection with any provision of this
EULA, even if Microsoft or any supplier has been advised of the
possibility of such damages.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any
damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including,
without limitation, all damages referenced above and all direct or
general damages), the entire liability of Microsoft and any of its
suppliers under any provision of this EULA and your exclusive
remedy for all of the foregoing (except for any remedy of repair or
replacement elected by Microsoft with respect to any breach of the
Limited Warranty) shall be limited to the greater of the amount
actually paid by you for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT or U.S.$5.00. The
foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers (including
Sections 9, 10 and 11 above) shall apply to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential
purpose.

Microsoft garantit que la performance du PRODUIT LOGICIEL sera

accompagne le PRODUIT LOGICIEL, pour une période de
quatre-vingt-dix (90) jours à compter de la date de réception.
Si une garantie ou condition implicite ou légale existe en vertu
de la loi de votre état ou juridiction et qu’une loi fédérale ou

garantie ou condition, vous avez également une garantie ou
condition implicite ou légale, MAIS SEULEMENT EN CE QUI CONCERNE
LES DÉFAUTS DÉCOUVERTS PENDANT LA DURÉE DE CETTE GARANTIE LIMITÉE
(QUATRE-VINGT-DIX (90) JOURS). EN CE QUI CONCERNE LES DÉFAUTS
DÉCOUVERTS APRÈS LA DURÉE DE QUATRE-VINGT-DIX (90) JOURS, IL
N’EXISTE AUCUNE GARANTIE OU CONDITION DE QUELQUE NATURE QUE CE
SOIT. Puisque certains états ou juridictions ne permettent pas
la limitation de la durée des garanties ou conditions légales ou
implicites, il est possible que la limitation ci-dessus ne vous
concerne pas.
Tout supplément ou mise à jour du PRODUIT LOGICIEL, y compris
sans limitation, tout (s’il y a lieu) ensemble de modifications
provisoires ("Service Pack" ou "hot fixes") qui vous
est fourni après l’expiration de la période de quatre-vingt-dix

vigueur, et même si un recours est privé de son essence. Les
termes du paragraphe ci-dessous intitulé "Absence de dommages
accessoires, indirects et autres" font également partie intégrante
de la présente Garantie Limitée. Puisque certains états ou
juridictions ne permettent pas l’exclusion ou la limitation des
dommages accessoires et indirects, il est possible que la
limitation ou exclusion ci-dessus ne vous concerne pas. Cette
Garantie Limitée vous accorde des droits juridiques spécifiques. Il
est possible que vous en ayez d’autres variant d’un état ou d’une
juridiction à l’autre.
VOTRE SEUL RECOURS. La seule responsabilité de Microsoft

remplacement sera garanti pour le reste de la période de garantie
initiale ou pendant trente (30) jours, selon la période la plus

tels dommages.

législation en vigueur, et ce même si leur application a pour effet
de priver un recours de son essence.
